    Umbilical cord keepsake
    Lisa P.

    I found out about Cristina's doula services from a friend who used her for her VBAC, and since this was my first born I wanted to go into this experience with as much help as possible. I'm so grateful for Cristina taking me in as a client when she was pretty booked! Cristina was there for me weeks before my due date, checking up on me, making sure I'm doing the correct stretches to help with the baby. Her quality of care in amazing. If I had a question at midnight, she would be there to answer me in a heartbeat. Words cannot explain how great Cristina was during my birth experience. She made me and my husband feel so comfortable and handled everything so well! She made my labor go by so quickly. She helped me through each and every contraction, she even would get my husband involved and that helped out a lot. When it was time to give birth, I didn't feel nervous or scared I felt ready with Cristina by my side. Cristina was there to advocate for me and answer any questions I had to make sure I get the best quality care. She also does placenta encapsulation. She dropped them off within 24-48 hours of giving birth and that helped a lot with the healing process! I would definitely recommend Cristina! I plan on having her again for my next birth in the future.

    Pills, umbilical cord keepsake (mine was too short to do much with but she still made it work!), print as well.

    Answered all my questions and was super kind. I looked at a few other encapsulation specialist and I just felt more comfortable and confident in her work based on her website and I'm so glad I trusted my gut with her. My husband said the pick up process was super easy and she was super friendly. Highly recommend for placenta encapsulation.

    Capsule placenta and heart umbilical cord
    Shanyka T.

    Im so grateful for christina/ Doula Bula. From the beginning she was so nice and pleasant. I called one day before giving birth , a nervous wreck and she was so reassuring. She came to the hospital , picked up my placenta , and stayed on stand by with prompt communication. The turn around time was so fast and she delivered it to my home which was a half hour away free of charge . I noticed i was experiencing serve postpartum and these capsules helped my crazy hormone levels. The package was so cute and thoughtful. If it wasn't for this being my finale pregnancy and getting my tubes tied i would use her services again. Thanks again Christina. I HIGHLY recommend her services.... wish I would've taken more pictures of the package because this picture does it no justice!!!

    Encapsulated pills and salve
    Arlene C.

    Cristina is absolutely amazing. Answered all my questions. I received my pills and salve super fast. She is super sweet! I delayed in taking the pills since I was in the hospital for a week, I suffered from postpartum depression and I believe the pills have helped a lot after few days of taking them. I think it has also helped me with my lactation. If I decide to have another baby I will most definitely be reaching out to her again! Thank you so much!

    Adrianna N.

    Doing an updated review! Cristina was very tentative and came to pick up my placenta in a timely manor even though I had my baby on a Friday in December at 4:57 AM she made me so comfortable and I didn't worry or stress at all during the process. She had my encapsulated placenta back to me within 24 hours. The placenta pills have helped me tremendously during my postpartum period. She communicated with me through the end of my pregnancy, as well as postpartum. Over all she is just an amazing person and I am so grateful for her service and will be returning to her for future pregnancies.

    My placenta with rainbow food coloring
    Jane C.

    I loved this experience. Cristina was prompt and responsive to ask my messages. She was able to work with my schedule and allowed my birth doula to deliver my placenta to her. She even went out of her way and food colored my placenta rainbow for my rainbow baby, and giving me the beautiful art work. My chord was dipped in gold in a heart shape, the presentation was gorgeous and the delivery of my rainbow capsules was only 2 days! I'll definitely do this again for my next baby!

    Best service that anyone can ask for. Cristina made is so stress free. Picked up and delivered it super fast !! I highly recommend her.

    I went into this pregnancy wanting a completely different experience than my first. I had…read morepreviously had a C-section, and my hope was to have a natural birth and avoid another cesarean recovery--but I didn't even know if that was possible. Through my doulas, I learned about VBAC and finally felt empowered to explore that option. Because I have hip dysplasia, I was hesitant and unsure if my body would allow it. From the very beginning, they offered support, knowledge, and reassurance that helped me feel confident and open-minded to try something new, knowing I wouldn't be alone no matter how things unfolded. Despite the challenges I faced--including a 36-hour labor and moments where my hip dysplasia became difficult again--they were there every step of the way. They provided constant reassurance, emotional support, and hands-on physical comfort through massage and positioning that I truly couldn't imagine laboring without. In the end, I achieved my goal of a natural birth--something I never thought was possible. If I could go back, I would absolutely have hired a doula for my first birth as well. Not only did they support me, but they were also an incredible support system for my husband, guiding him on how to best help me and ensuring we were both nourished, informed, and prepared. Their care didn't stop after birth. Because I had challenges with breastfeeding, they made sure I received the lactation support I needed, while also checking in on both me and my baby. They truly went the extra mile to make sure I felt confident, supported, and cared for in those early postpartum days. Knowledge truly is power, and having that made all the difference. If you are considering a doula, I cannot recommend this team enough. They gave me an experience I will forever be grateful for.

We met each…read moreweek to go over the chapters they assigned, and I am so grateful for the experience it provided. The education in this program made a huge impact on my birth experience, and the meeting helped my work through my previous birth traumas from my first borns birth. Because of the prep and education I received through MBB, I was able to have a redemptive, uncomplicated, successful unmedicated birth. The tools, mindset shifts, and practical knowledge I gained played a major role in my empowering experience and I'm beyond grateful for this course and the confidence it gave me. Shout out to Shiela, Sophia, Jamie, and Corrine for the great insight and support you gave me prior to labor. Brooke hung on the phone and advised us while I labored, and Kaitlyn met us at the hospital just in time for baby's delivery. I appreciated her knowledge and communication during the hospital chaos. 10/10 recommend EVERYONE works with a doula!! And, Modesto Birth & Beyond is a great choice if you're in their service areas.

After attending a childbirth preparation class at my hospital less than two months before my due date, I began to worry about how unprepared I was and became anxious when thinking about childbirth and the pain associated with it. After meeting with Teri and Susan, we immediately knew that having a doula with us was something we needed. My due date was approaching rapidly, but we were able to do a total of three childbirth education classes, one group class in Modesto and two in home classes. I felt more and more assured after each class. By the end of the third class my anxiety had been replaced by confidence. Teri came to our house the morning that I went into labor and assisted me through each contraction as I labored at home. Still by my side in the delivery room, she used acupressure and aromatherapy which helped tremendously even during the most intense contractions. Back at home with a brand new baby, the postpartum doula services with Jennifer and Susan were exceedingly helpful for us. I had also opted for placenta encapsulation and the postpartum care basket, both of which made my postpartum recovery and healing easier. Looking back, as we often do, we couldn't imagine our birth experience without the caring and experienced support of the doulas at Modesto Doula Group!

    My personal experience was 3-star - fine/better than neutral, but for me there were a few cons that…read moretook away from the pros... Other people might receive the same exact service but rate it 4 or 5 stars. I felt that the postpartum doula, Susan, could have been more open and supportive of my personal parenting style and desires, but it seemed like she thought there was one good way of parenting an 8-week old baby - the rigid schedule your baby for your convenience as soon as possible way, which isn't my philosophy but I know tons of people do want that. I also thought she needed to take more care and consideration regarding her baby wearing advice because although babies bodies are very flexible, there are safety concerns especially regarding their hips, neck, and nose that she did not properly address when telling me not to over think placing my baby in my ring sling.

Fast forward, my daughter is born and we have latching issues, which I didn't have with my first born. In fact, complete opposite problems. But luckily, with her guidance we have been able to progress with latching. She listens to what your concerns are, welcomes you to message her and sends lots of information and excerises to take home with. So you have a good plan to work with. We have done lots of progress and even have a follow up appointment with a local pediatric dentist for an evaluation. She has been such a help with the stress of breastfeeding. Baby and I are in a better place right now than we were initially. I recommended her to my fellow pregnant friends incase they come along any similar issues. Best part was the 1:1 private appointment. Money well spent if you want individualized session compared to the group setting found at hospitals.

They stayed by my side the ENTIRE TIME I needed them. They helped me after 12 hours of labor decide the best corse for my delivery and I felt informed and not pushed. They helped me on my weak points by encouraging me and answering my questions when I needed it. I am so glad I wasn't alone with hospital staff and my loving husband. If your thinking about a doula and need your questions answered please call her. Both her and Marji are incredibly welcoming. You may be able to do it without help, but a strong hug and beautiful words of a supportive woman is honestly what EVERY woman delivering a baby should be entitled to and mandatory. Postpartum checkup allowed for some ahha moments that really helped us thrive. For some the price is a drop in the bucket, for some it's an investment.

Well... baby decided that she was going to stay breech so I was forced to schedule a repeat c-section. Throughout the whole pregnancy Sheila was so supportive, always checking in to see how I was doing. When we found out baby was breech she also was able to provide recommendations for a holistic approach to turn baby. Sheila was an amazing postpartum Doula. I have to admit my husband was a little apprehensive about the idea of a postpartum doula but, the morning she left he was asking when she could come back. If I could've afforded to have Sheila here every night for the first week I would have. Having Sheila was an essential piece of my recovery and she was an amazing resource for baby well. Although I am a veteran to breastfeeding I couldn't figure out why baby's latch was painful, Sheila was able to see something wasn't right and made a call to a lactation consultant. Baby was diagnosed with a tongue tie ( mind you I had seen 3 lactation consultants who had missed it ). Sheila genuinely cares about her moms and babies, and she loves what she does. Even weeks after having baby she still checks in periodically. I am so happy that I had the pleasure of working with her. Thank you for all your help Sheila!

Doulas are superhero's to me and I believe every mama deserves to have one pre and post pregnancy. Doula Stephanie was responsible, precise, committed, diligent, and respectable. She fulfilled above and beyond my expectations. Having Doula Stephanie by my side, I had more than just a physical supprt person I had an emotional and mental support person, a cheerleader, a planner, and a friend. I had someone who believed in me and was able to help me reach my goals even when the odds seemed against me. A little to my back story, my first two sons were born prematurely. One at 31 weeks and the other at 35 weeks. Due to having two premature babies my OB was almost certain I would go into preterm labor again. As scary as that sounded I was determined to do what it took to have a healthy pregnancy, smooth labor and delivery. That was when I met Doula Stephanie at such a divine time. Despite knowing my pregnancy history she worked with me every step of the way and was determined to help me achieve the pregnancy/birth I dreamed of. With all of Stephanie's wisdom and encouragement I was able to successfully feel confident going into labor and not be fearful of what was to come. I felt educated and empowered and actually looked forward to owning that labor room. I felt proud of all the fears I conquered. One of my favorite parts about having Doula Stephanie there along my side was she help guide my husband to be there for me. She did not replace him, instead she allowed his strengths to shine and that I believed brought such an intimacy during my labor that I will forever be thankful for. My husband cannot thank Doula Stephanie enough for everything she did for us. Get yourself a Doula! I am so grateful to have found mine.

I wasn't sold on the idea because I'm not someone who likes to be super vulnerable in front of people I don't know - little did I know how much birth would change that. Makayla met with my husband and I several times before our birth preparing a plan, as well as a few FaceTime calls the week of my birth to make sure I was ready and prepared. She was no stranger by the time birth came around. She listened to me and answered the 10,000 questions I had (that number is not an exaggeration I asked so many questions). She never made me feel bad for asking so many questions and gave clear and thoughtful insight to everything I asked. She made sure my husband felt heard and his questions were answered too, which was important to me because I wanted this to be his birth experience too. When the day finally arrived my labor ended up being incredibly fast so a lot of what we planned for was not necessary, however Makayla still gave me 100% support and really coached me through my birth. It really is the most incredible experience and I am so glad we hired a doula (specifically Makayla) because she was a vital part of my birth team and what made my birth experience one that I still can't stop talking or thinking about. She came to my house to visit postpartum and again answered all my questions, let me talk through the birth experience, and even helped me get my baby wearing wrap setup and taught me how to use it properly. I'm so grateful for Makayla and her services. If you are looking for a doula I highly recommend you look no further! She should absolutely be part of your birth team.
